Summer Wrap-up

We had some mammoth crookneck squash plants in our garden.


We ate a lot of squash.

Nate and Addison ran the 5K at Clinton Heritage Days

So proud of my little guy running with all the grownups!




The girls ran the mile









The kids had fun with my button collection

Aunt Bri helped us can cherry jam.

The Primary did balloon animals at our ward picnic. Asa asked them to make him a pickle.

I think Rosie's walk is our family's favorite children's book. Especially when Daddy reads it with fun background music composed on the spot.

We went to the Riverdale trail with Kim, Isabel, and Ben to catch minnows. They actually got a few!

Love this lady.

We got to watch a really cool bike race go right by our neighborhood!

Trash day is always a highlight for Asa.

We loved getting visits from cousins and grandparents.



We buried our bird, Plow.

We went with Kim's family to the trout farm and caught our dinner!





Grandma bought a cotton candy machine.

We enjoyed each monthly installment of the Gramps and Grammie's News

Vegged out and read lots.

The kids had plenty of chances to get a little bored and go a little crazy.

A chicken, clearly.

This lunacy happened on one of those days. I think this video is so funny! Especially at the end when it looks like it's in fast motion, but it's not.

Asa conquered several spiderwebs.

Mmmmm. Peaches.


Nate and I celebrated 11 years of wedded bliss by spending a night in SLC at the Grand America.

The garden was very productive.

Addison's cabbage, Leo. It weighed over ten pounds!

We braved the crowds and drove to Rexburg with Grandma and Grandpa for the total solar eclipse! It was incredible!




Grandma masterminded these awesome shirts. I love this picture. So much sass!





And we got to see the Rexburg temple while we were there.

We were all relieved when the sun came back. Especially Bryn.

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
